Possible in theory, but apparently not the case.

Since the list was leaked on 19 Mar, instructions have been posted on one 
or more websites concerning how to extract the list from a particular one 
of the "IIA Family Friendly Filters" (ACMA provides their list to such 
filter makers) - procedure requires use of hex editor, etc. Several people 
subsequently reported on the whirlpool forum that they followed the 
instructions and the result was extraction of a list identical to the first 
one published by wikileaks. (That was reported before yesterday when 
wikileaks published the 2nd and 3rd more recent versions of the list).
